Use the symbols of the holiday season—including gobbling turkeys, rosy-cheeked Santa Clauses and glowing Menorahs—as inspiration for your next Silly Cake for a chance to win a baking prize package. Fondant, buttercream, candy embellishments—anything goes! As long as your cake embodies the feel of the season and tastes like dessert, you're in the running to win a $255 UltraGold Bakeware set from Wilton. Starting November 17, 2010, email two pictures of your cake to holidaycakecontest@gmail.com, and be sure to follow our photo parameters below. In the spirit of the holiday, the winner and runners-up may be featured on WomansDay.com and/or in a future issue of Woman's Day magazine.

Please submit photos that are at least 3 MB in size. (Note: Most digital cameras, when set on their highest setting, take 3 MB– to 7 MB–sized photos.)
